Pablo Picasso is an extremely well know painter who created beautiful works of art. This particular painting Sea Ldyll made in 1908 was created with oil paints and decorated with exquisite detail the ripples in the water are so real and the reflection is so detailed the clothing on the one woman's body looks so real as if it was soaked and stuck to the woman's body. The water glimmers off their bodies making the painting look so life like. I don't see cubism in this type of painting at all, it was used with nice colors to detail the canvas. The sun hat brings fun into the painting and there might not be much in the painting, yet the painting focuses in on these two women on a beautiful hot summer day. the face on the one naked woman has lack of detail but completely perfect for this type of art work. the waters color is breathtakingly gorgeous with a kind of rainbow effect.

L.H.O.O.Q - 1919

This is a painting known as L.H.O.O.Q, and was painted by Marcel Duchamp. The reason I chose this painting is because I like how it has a different feeling than the Mona Lisa, even though it is not much different from the actual original painting. I believe Duchamp made this just to have fun being immature with paintings that have been considered sophisticated for many years.

Lito Mayo

Lito Mayo was a Filipino  artist since the 1970's. I love the creativity in this painting,  Self-Portrait of Lio Mayo made in 1981. He was not known as a Dada artist but they considered his work to be apart of the Dada movement. He was offically known as a  Filipino graphic artist, print-maker, avantegarde poet, social activist, sculptor, satirist, and art professor. He spent a lot of time in museums working on art pieces before moving into his offical career as an artist.

Frida Kahlo: Roots, 1943

Image
"Roots" 1943 Created By: Frida Kahlo Written By: Madison Herley The painting "Roots" created by Frida Kahlo in 1943 represents the artist herself. I choose the painting "Roots"  because it was an unique style of a portrait. For example, usually portraits are a close up of someones face. However, in Frida's painting it is a wide shot of herself on some type of land with roots coming out of her torso. Some researchers believe Frida was inspired to create this painting because she alway had a dream of being able to give birth since she was a childless woman. In addition, other researchers have predicted that Frida is mimicking the Catholic religion with a Christ sacrifice by having her blood flowing to the vines. Furthermore, this sacrifice has been connected to some of Fridas other work as well. I did like this photo the best because she used a lot of warm tones to create the painting. The color of her dress and the vine branches stood...
